Lin Han is not optimistic about the prospect of the mobile game adaptation of "The Martian", although there are many readers of the novel, but this book is mainly a person on Mars, how do players play?

Text exploration and decryption games are actually more popular abroad, but they are not as good as card games and adventure games in China, and even Lin Han doesn't know whether the company Xingyue Games has the strength to build it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fu Zhan saw Lin Han's doubts, and he opened his mouth to explain: "The development prospects of mobile games are very large, many mobile games have exploded in sales before, Plants vs. Zombies, Hearthstone, Fishing Master, Fruit Ninja, My Name is MT, etc. Every year, a group of A-share listed companies rush in to buy mobile game teams, and our team has participated in the creation of many mobile games, and we have rich experience. ”

"I know that the smartphone gaming market is huge and growing, but that doesn't mean every game can make money. ”

At present, there are no less than 20 mobile games with a monthly income of more than 10 million yuan in the market, and mobile game companies and studios have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Fu Zhan said unhurriedly: "We at Xingyue Games have just completed the first round of financing, and we currently have enough funds to operate a game. This time, our team came out to start a business, just to find a slightly easier, but can make a name for themselves. ”

"I'm sorry, but I think I need something that will impress me. I can't promise you that alone. Lin Han is more cautious, "The Martian" is also a big IP, the novel is a best-seller, the movie version is being produced, if the mobile game is launched, there will definitely be a large number of readers and movie audiences who will be attracted to it, which is a huge advantage.

If Xingyue Games is a shoddy studio, then Lin Han has smashed the signboard, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"Our company is willing to spend 5 million to buy the mobile game license of "The Martian", and there is also a 5% profit share. ”

Not to mention anything else, Lin Han knows that in the field of online novels alone, the IP licensing price of mobile games has reached the point of millions at every turn, and the maximum licensing price has increased by 10 times in just one year.

What is staggering is that many works have only one title, and the content of the novel is not written a word, but the license fee for the adaptation rights of mobile games has been sold at a sky-high price of several million, and for some literary gods, 5 million is just a starting price.

The first-line online text IP has been swept away by game companies and studios, with more licensing prices of 10 million, less millions, and even historical novels can be bought to adapt mobile games.

This is just a mobile game, if you add games and terminal games, the game adaptation value of a novel may be more than 10 million.

It is precisely because the IP of online novels is almost consumed that Fu Zhan shifted his attention to traditional novels, there are not many novels suitable for adaptation, and most of them are also famous, only Lin Han remains.

Lin Han is now the first among young science fiction writers, "The Martian" has sold more than 2 million people in China, as long as a quarter of these two million people, that is, 500,000 people, can be converted into game users, then according to the user acquisition cost of 20 yuan per person, this IP is worth 10 million.

This may be an exaggeration, but the price of at least 5 million is a bit low.

A good IP can bring a lot of effects, just like driving, the top IP can ensure the stability of a car's speed to 60 yards, maybe the game only needs 30 yards to protect the capital, and the rest of the income depends on the game developer's R&D capabilities and game quality.

"5 million is not much, you should know that there have been game companies that have quoted us before, and there are even 8 million. It's just that he just bought the name The Martian, and bought it back to sell dog meat on the head of a sheep to make a space adventure game, which has almost nothing to do with the novel. ”

Lin Han is more strict in these aspects, if he is greedy for money, he has a way to make money.

Fu Zhan felt that things were a little tricky, and Lin Han made it clear that he wanted to look at the specific planning of the game, rather than talking casually, which would not impress this young man at all.

"In our planning, players will receive a signal from the Martian survivor at the beginning of the game, first decipher the message, and then stay in touch with the survivor for the rest of the game and give advice to help him get out of the situation.

Survivors are in regular dialogue with the player, allowing them to understand their current situation and make choices for their next moves, which will lead to different plot developments. At the same time, it is also necessary to observe the physical condition of the survivors so that they can make choices quickly, and the survivors' physical strength and health are limited. ”

Lin Han couldn't help but nod when he heard this, this stand-alone version of the text adventure game can indeed perfectly combine the novel with the game, and it sounds a little interesting.

Fu Zhan himself couldn't stop talking about the excitement, he danced with his hands: "The game progression is synchronized with real life, for example, if a survivor says that he is hungry and wants to eat, you have to help him find food, and then the survivor will contact the player after eating for more than ten minutes." If the survivor is going to bed, the next contact may be a few hours away. ”

"This will affect the game experience, right? Time passes too slowly, and players may get impatient. Lin Han also actively followed the discussion, if the survivor only played for five minutes and the survivor ran to sleep for eight hours, then how could he play!

"It's really about making players feel the tension of anxiously waiting for a survivor to reply, hoping that he won't die, as if they were actually in contact with an astronaut who crashed on Mars. Of course, players can also freely adjust the time, choose the fast-forward mode, and resume the game from the saved location time after the survivor dies. ”

The two of them obviously haven't reached an agreement on the copyright yet, but they have been discussing the way the game is adapted, and one after another sparks of thinking have collided.

"Is the plot based on the novel of The Martian? At the beginning, the basic situation of the survivors is introduced, and then the player chooses to treat the survivors. The first key option can be a trap, and you might die once at the beginning. ”

Players can choose to pull out the antenna from their body or return to base first, as well as how to perform surgery, how to get food, how to get water, how to plant, and even explore the unknown area of Mars, all of which have different outcomes.

Lin Han smiled a little treacherously, there are so many challenges on Mars, and reading the novel may only have a little advantage, it doesn't mean that the original novel is a customs clearance strategy, if you have the idea that you can crush the customs clearance after reading the novel, maybe you will be pitted.

Based on this idea alone, Lin Han had already begun to be tempted, at least he himself really wanted to play this kind of game.
